dialogue 4 taking a walk
[Music]
it’s such a beautiful sunny day i can’t
remember the last time i felt so relaxed
yeah it’s so great being able to enjoy
the sunshine and the cool breeze
our old place was always loud and noisy
i feel so great that our new
neighborhood is so beautiful and
tranquil
i feel the same way our new house is
closer to the city center but it’s not
noisy at all
and it’s so convenient that we have
everything from supermarkets the mall
the cinema to restaurants and coffee
shops nearby
yeah it’s great that everything is
within walking distance
moving to this neighborhood is such a
good decision don’t you think honey
it’s the best place to raise our little
ben
also our neighbors are all so nice and
respectful especially jared and riley
they’re always willing to help us
yeah that’s true it’s not easy having
such good neighbors nowadays i’m so glad
we moved
[Music]

park ben
of course it’s awesome i love it
before when we still lived in brooklyn i
could only go to the park once in a
while
yeah i know i’m sorry about that honey
the park was too far from our old place
so we couldn’t go there often
but this park is only two blocks from
our house so now we can go here every
weekend or anytime you want to
awesome
wow this park is so much bigger than our
old park
yeah you’re right
be careful honey don’t run so fast
you’ll trip over
i’m fine i’m not gonna trip trust me
mom dad look there are so many games
here as well
there are swings
seesaws
slides and balls here i love this park
you’re right this park has such a big
playground it’s even bigger than the
playground at your school
wow it also has tubes and climbers we’re
glad you like this park
